TEC4Home Stroke - Feasibility of Home Telemonitoring Technology in Managing Hypertension Among Stroke/TIA Patients

Canada50 participantsStarted 2018-03-01

Plain-language summary

This study will test the feasibility of a home blood pressure telemonitoring (HBPTM) system in patients with minor stroke or TIA in the past year. The telemonitoring system will consist of a blood pressure machine and an online survey to submit blood pressure measurements. The investigators want to test whether patients can persistently use the telemonitoring system with ease and whether telephone instructions for blood pressure medications from the research nurse can be correctly understood. A secondary purpose of this study is to look at the effects of telemonitoring in blood pressure and stroke recurrence.
